Running a self-containing PAR exe under PATH

saintmike has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, I seem to be missing the obvious, just checking if someone else ran into this: If I create a self-containing exe with PAR's pp like in

pp -o myscript myscript.pl
[download]

then running it as

/some/path/myscript
[download]

works fine while

cd /tmp
export PATH=$PATH:/some/path
myscript
[download]

fails with

IO error: opening myscript for read : No such file or directory at -e 
+line 164
Can't call method "extractTree" on an undefined value at ../blib/lib/P
+AR.pm line 263.
[download]

Is there a way to set PERL5LIB or else to make sure calling myscript works from anywhere?

Thanks for any help ...

I get a different error with PAR 0.80 and perl 5.6.1 on linux. Still an error. You could try writing your own script/main.pl that tweaks PERL5LIB. I'm considering doing the same to add $ENV{PAR_TEMP} to $ENV{PATH} $ pp -o myscript -e 'print "$_\n" for($0, $^X, $ENV{PAR_TEMP})' $ (PATH=`pwd` ; myscript) myscript perl /tmp/par-bsb/cache-89ce8dd3edc8a3087f577d4031b104f815b5280e $ (PATH=`pwd` ; cd /; myscript) Usage: myscript [ -Alib.par ] [ -Idir ] [ -Mmodule ] [ src.par ] [ pro +gram.pl ] myscript [ -B\|-b ] [-Ooutfile] src.par $ unzip -l myscript Archive: myscript Length Date Time Name -------- ---- ---- ---- 41 07-05-04 17:47 script/ppp4lZz.pl 246 07-05-04 17:47 script/main.pl 436 07-05-04 17:47 MANIFEST 216 07-05-04 17:47 META.yml -------- ------- 939 4 files $ unzip -p myscript script/main.pl my $zip = $PAR::LibCache{$0} \|\| Archive::Zip->new(__FILE__); my $member = eval { $zip->memberNamed('script/ppp4lZz.pl') } or die qq(Can't open perl script "script/ppp4lZz.pl": No such file + or directory ($zip)); PAR::_run_member($member, 1); [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I'm not sure how well it interacts with PAR, but you might have some luck using FindBin. HTH	[reply]

So should reinvent PAR?	[reply]
